Not the same just saying. Efficacy is way different and the light produced per watt is just not equal. I really don't want to get into the hows and whys and some of that wattage is running fans because of the difference in efficiency they produce way more heat so the need fans.
I've ordered from Kingbrite 3 times. None of my orders took more than a week to arrive. I'm concerned about that cob light. If it were me, I would circle back and look at anything that has the LM301b or h LED diode. My experience with cobs in a tent was hot spots.

Yea i kno but which is better for a 2x4 one priced at 240 watts for $170
What can we go off for buying led lights the diodes? Or the wattage confused.
I added to my above post. It's not heat. It's intensity. I would put cobs in my greenhouse at 7.5' from the ground. I could probably get away with that. The diffused light inside my tent is so much better than any of the cob lights I've built ... and I've built many.
Nice!I've ordered from Kingbrite 3 times. None of my orders took more than a week to arrive. I'm concerned about that cob light. If it were me, I would circle back and look at anything that has the LM301b or h LED diode. My experience with cobs in a tent was hot spots.
Edit: Let me expand on that. Keep in mind that I'm a skilled trade worker so DIY is second nature since I do it everyday to feed my family. I built a cob light.
New Type Of Led's
You might want to check out budgetgrowlight.com I think they have great products and their customer support is really good They have a 3 year warranty and use really good components But I think the difference is their customer service Bedgetgrowlights.com appears to be a USA made product...
It was a mix of burple and white LEDs each chip was 50 watts. (700watts + fans ... pulled about 850w from the wall) The heatsinks were well cooled. You could put y our hands on them and it would only feel warm. It was a well built light but it fried my plants that were directly underneath it. Cobs are better suited mounted well above the plants.
Don't buy the individual diodes. Buy a light that uses the LM301b or h diode.
But aint intensity what we going for?
Agree and SF, mars and all those have that light beat also. Yes they all produce heat but you will see what I mean if you ever did a side by side.
Intensity is directly related to efficacy and wattage. And we want even coverage not cog spot lights... especially if height limited.
It's like sun burn. Yes, you want intensity ... the difference would be like getting a tan vs getting a blistering burn.
Would they have it beat bcuz of the intensity?
So your saying using these light at the right distance will still give my plants burns ?
I second that ... You have $80.00 today. Maybe after you get paid again, you will have the rest. Save up for the light with the right LEDs for your grow. You will thank me later. Promises!
The cob lights I have built would require 3 to 5 feet between the top of your plants and the light. At 18 inches, your plants would die. I'm going to bet you that your $80.00 light has 10 watt cobs so it's really only 50 - 60 watts of light. The rest is fan wattage.
Its not the money thats the problem you say save up but for what light lol i dont know what to choose hints thread title
I've been involved in many of those discussions. They are all over this board. lol. Do a search ... you will find them. If money isn't the issue, purchase something you will be happy with. I think the Amazon light you are interested in would end up being a disappointment to you.
I also checked out reviews from this light and it is a beast for the price and dont see thw diff from this one and mars hydro
It's NOT pulling 1500watts from the wall. That's an advertising ploy and you're buying into it. Find out exactly what wattage it's pulling from the wall.i think your wrong
